GEORGE 1968: 'Derek Taylor got held up.
He rang to say he'd be late.
I told him on the phone that the house was in Blue Jay Way.
And he said he could find it okay… he could always ask a cop.
So I waited and waited.
I felt really nackered with the flight, but I didn't want to go to sleep until he came.
There was a fog and it got later and later.
To keep myself awake, just as a joke to pass the time while I waited, I wrote a song about waiting for him in Blue Jay Way.
There was a little Hammond organ in the corner of this house which I hadn't noticed until then… so I messed around on it and the song came.'

There's a fog upon L.A.
And my friends have lost their way
We'll be over soon they said
Now they've lost themselves instead

Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Or I may be asleep

Well, it only goes to show
And I told them where to go
Ask a policeman on the street
There's so many there to meet

Please don't be long (don't be long)
Please don't you be very long (don't be long)
Please don't be long
Or I may be asleep

Now it's past my bed I know
And I'd really like to go
Soon will be the break of day
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way

Please don't be long (don't be long)
Please don't you be very long (don't be long)
Please don't be long
Or I may be asleep

Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long

Don't be long, don't be long
Don't be long, don't be long
Don't be long, don't be long
Don't be long
